I want to thank you a BUNCH for your November post. Talis and I are fast becoming good friends; we see eye-to-eye on a lot, and I think she likes my posts as much as I like her music... and while I'd heard her music before, it was that post of yours in particular that made me stop and go "wow"... and now I have a whole STACK of CD's courtesy of her and the Royal Mail.

Did I mention you're awesome? (And I still think "Subway Riding" every time somebody mentions New York City? :)

May the awesome you cast upon the waters of the world, virtual and otherwise, return to you many times over, and thus may you never want, especially for laughter.

I am so glad. :) Talis's music is amazing and I am proud to have done a bit in helping to spread it around.

And thank you. *virtual-hugs!*
